Description

Starter care


The concept of initial care involves preparing the shoes before their first use.

Our shoes are made of natural, untreated calf leather. They often sit in the box several weeks before being purchased by the customer. Therefore, new shoes taken straight from the box, without any prior treatment, have dry and relatively hard leather. Due to its thickness, this can cause discomfort and, in some cases, even blisters on the feet during the first wear (or even during the first few days of wearing).

Additional discomfort may be caused by the tongue in the shoes. Hard, pressed tightly by the laces, it can be painful. Many people report that the shoes from a particular manufacturer they have chosen have a poorly shaped upper part. In reality, this is a fairly rigid piece of leather under the lacing, commonly referred to as the tongue.

For shoes worn at weddings or important ceremonies, it's worth creaming and waxing the vamp and heel. These details matter, and we often notice them only when looking at wedding photos.


What does initial care involve:


1. The shoes fit the foot faster and easier
2. The leather is well nourished and lubricated
3. The footwear is protected against weather conditions
4. Thanks to creaming and waxing details such as heels or the sole frame, the shoes look elegant and create a WOW effect in photos.

What does starter care include:

Smooth leather:

1. Cream the shoes with Delicate cream to moisturize and soften the leather.
2. Creaming the upper and tongue of the shoes twice with cream in the color-matching cream.
3. Waxing of the shoe upper twice.
4. Creaming and waxing the heels and welt.

Suede leather:

1. Brushing the shoes with a brush with copper bristles
2. Applying the renovator.
3. Double impregnation of the leather.
4. Creaming and waxing the heels and the welt.

How to take care of your shoes

Initial Shoe Care

Right after purchasing, shoes need to be properly prepared for use. At Klasyczne Buty, we call this the "initial care" process. This involves applying shoe cream multiple times at intervals of a few to several minutes, followed by a thin layer of wax polish. Ideally, after a few hours, the shoes should be polished with a cotton cloth or a horsehair brush. This process helps the shoes mold better to the foot, keeps the leather nourished, and protects them from weather conditions.

For suede shoes, it is essential to brush them with a dedicated suede brush and protect them with a suitable suede spray. This process makes the suede less susceptible to dirt and moisture.








Passive Care

Using Shoe Trees

Shoe trees significantly extend the lifespan of shoes and keep them in good condition by maintaining the shoe’s shape and absorbing moisture. Shoes will have fewer deep creases and wrinkles because the shoe trees replace your feet and allow the leather to rest and regain its form.
Avoid shoe trees that lack a full heel and only have a knob on a long spring, as these can damage the heel counter.










Using a Shoe Horn

When using a shoe horn, one fundamental rule applies—do not use it as a lever to force your foot into the shoe. The shoe horn should be positioned almost vertically and parallel to the heel along the Achilles tendon. The heel and the entire foot should slide in smoothly.

A shoe horn primarily enhances convenience, helping you put on shoes quickly and comfortably. For slip-on shoes like loafers, moccasins, and Chelsea boots, a longer shoe horn makes the process even easier.

 

Using a shoe horn also helps protect the shoe's heel area, preventing the leather from being crushed and avoiding damage to the seams and overall structure of the shoe.



Rotating Your Shoes

Shoe rotation is a crucial aspect of passive shoe care. The rule is simple—let your shoes rest for at least one day. This allows the soles and leather to recover, preventing premature wear. If possible, avoid wearing the same pair of shoes two days in a row.


Removing Shoes Properly

First, always loosen the laces or unfasten any straps before taking off your shoes. Avoid stepping on the toe of one shoe with the heel of the other to remove them, as this can damage both the toe and heel areas. Such habits may lead to scuffing the leather sole, wearing down the sole edges, and scratching or dirtying the leather upper.

After taking off your shoes, allow them to sit for 10–15 minutes to equalize temperature and release moisture before inserting shoe trees.


Storing Shoes – "Parking" and "Garaging" Shoes After the Season

For seasonal storage, the most important factors are a dry environment and a stable temperature. Avoid storing shoes in damp places like basements, attics, or garages, as high humidity and temperature fluctuations can damage the leather and even cause mold.



Active Shoe Care

 

Polished and Patent Leather

Polished and patent leathers are easy to maintain. Simply clean the upper with a dedicated Patent Spray by spraying it onto a cotton cloth and wiping the shoe. Dust, dirt, and grease marks can also be removed with a slightly damp cloth.

Shell Cordovan Leather

Shell Cordovan is highly durable and easy to care for. Simply nourish the leather with a dedicated cream. Dust can be removed, and shine restored by brushing with a horsehair brush. No wax polish or additional waterproofing is required.

Oiled Leather (Chromexcel Type)

Oiled leather should be conditioned monthly with a special impregnating grease. Scuffs and discoloration can be safely corrected using creams based on natural beeswax. Additional polish or waterproofing is unnecessary.

Suede Leather

Regularly (2-3 times per month) protect suede with a waterproofing spray. Once a month, use a dedicated suede serum to maintain its color and texture. Always clean suede when dry, using a crepe or brass brush for stubborn stains.



Shoe Brush Recommendations

Shoe Brush for suede Recommendations

Shoe Brush Recommendations

For smooth leather: Use a horsehair brush for polishing and a harder brush for cleaning dust and dirt.

For suede: Use a dedicated suede brush.


Leather Shoe Maintenance

Cleaning

Before storing shoes, wipe them down with a cloth or brush off dust and dirt. This is especially important before applying polish, cream, or long-term storage.







 

Polishing

Wax polish protects shoes from weather conditions (dust, rain) and enhances shine. The polish color should match the shoe’s upper. Apply polish with a brush or cotton cloth, then buff with a cloth or, preferably, a horsehair brush.

Conditioning

Shoe cream moisturizes the leather, preventing cracks and maintaining color. It can also cover minor scratches. Use a cream color that closely matches your shoes.

Sole Maintenance

Leather soles naturally wear down over time. Cleaning is crucial—wipe them down and remove embedded grit with a stiff synthetic-bristle brush. Stubborn dirt and small stones can be removed with a tool that has sharp edges. 

Tongue Care

Do not neglect the tongue of your shoes—apply the same amount of cream as the rest of the upper to prevent color variations. If access to the tongue is limited, use a cotton cloth to distribute the cream. Avoid excessive wax application, though a thin layer can help protect against shoelace friction.

Heel and Sole Repairs

For stitched shoes, most parts can be replaced, significantly extending their lifespan. Rubber heel caps and soles are replaceable, and leather soles can be reinforced with a rubber overlay or even replaced if stitched using the Goodyear welt method.
